THE CHATTER BOX immiimmmimNiiniiftiniimiiniiniiinmniiiiimuiitimimiiiiimiiniKimniiiinim iimnfiTniiiimtiintTtnnitmitnmmnnmtnimnuimimimtlmininuminnHmuiiim By ELBERT HAWKINS Northern division baseball wil be just getting a good start thi: week, while down in sunny Cali fornia our southern brethren havf been playing for over a month, anc are now getting ready to settle things. Publicity from that region or baseball has been rather sparse — probably no one cares anyhow— but they were in mid-season or April 1, and by now have hit ovei the 20-game mark. Contrast that with Oregon’s twe league tilts of last week, and well under ten for the whole spring It’s lucky they don't have a play off series between the northern and southern champs, for not until May 29 will the pennant struggle up here be decided. * * » A regular 16-game schedule for the same five teams is used for basketball and baseball in the nor thern division, but the southern branch uses a different set-up ev ery spring. They add .St. Mary's and Santa Clara to the “big four,” and call it the California Intercollegiate Base ball association instead of the fam iliar “Southern division” moniker which holds forth in basketball. Southern California, California, Stanford, and UCLA are the old members. Incidentally St. Mary’s and Santa Clara are at present in the cellar, while the Trojans and the Bears are scrapping for first place. * * $ Fate gave Coach Hobson and his Webfoots a cold stare as far as pre-season games were concerned -—what with so much rain—but in the northern division race it looks like things are more rosy. Oregon gets to play its first four games against the confer ence’s two weakest teams, and in that way should be fairly seasoned by the time Washington State comes along. Dopesters figured Oregon to sweep last week's Oregon State games, which they did, and to chalk up another pair against Ida ho here on Friday and Saturday. These Cougars who expect to tear through every club in the con ference are going to have tougher sledding before they meet Oregon here next Wednesday and Thurs day. Washington will play host to Buck Bailey’s men on Friday and Saturday. The Huskies sport a vet eran team, and on the basis of past performance might spill Washing ton State. From Seattle, Washington State moves to Corvallis on Monday and Tuesday to square off against Slats Gill’s desperate Orangemen. Then to Eugene will come the Cougars to play Hobby’s Ducks who should be fresh and chipper by that time with a three-day rest. Hobby plans to start big Bill Sayles, Webfoot specdball hurler, against Idaho here Friday, and then to send him against Wash ington State. Oregon hopes rest upon whether the Cougars can sur vive their six games in seven days. Funny how teams can pile up long victory strings unnoticed but that’s what often happens. For in stance, not many golf fans are aware of what our Webfoots have accomplished. They have piled up an unbroker string of dual meet triumphs which dates back to the season of 1935 This Friday afternoon on the home course, Coach-captain Sid Milli gan's divoteers will be gunning foi their 14th consecutive dual meet win against the University of Brit ish Columbia. Incidentally, after dropping thcii last match to the University oi Washington golfers in Seattle ir May, 1935, the Webfoots went or to capture northern division hon ors. Last season they downec Washington twice, but lost th< conference crown to Washingtoi State. s. s in the 1 9 35 championshii matches held in Eugene, Leonarr Anderson, who is now pro at th< Laurelwood course, captured indi \ idual medalist honors. Captaii Sid Milligan, is the only membe of this year’s team who saw aetioi with the ’35 outfit. Tom Stoddari coached the Oregon golfers durirj the past two seasons. Downing Washington at Seattl last Saturday was especially swee for the Ducks as it marked thei fourth straight over the Huskie in the last two years. Before tha time Washington had piled up ; string that lasted from the lonj Duck Baseball Club Aims for Sweep of Idaho Series Hayward Men StartTapering For UW Meet V ictory Outlook Gloomy As Meet Time Draws Near; Team to Travel North on Friday Coach Bill Hayward sent his var sity track team through their final hard workout last night in pre paration for their opening dual en counter with Washington's Huskies i Saturday at Seattle. A light tapering off is on sched ule for this afternoon with the squad of 18 men expected to leave early Friday for the trip north. Hayward has not yet divulged his traveling squad but in a time trial in the high hurdles yesterday he picked his two high hurdle en trants. Harry Weston, sophomore speedster, and Milo Lacy, veteran senior, were the two men chosen, finishing the race in that order. Huskies Powerful The veteran Webfoot mentor does not expect to defeat Washing ton and figures the team lucky if they score 45 points. Washington has its usual powerful squad and is looked upon as the tops in the conference. Bill Vandermay, Husky high jumper, is expected to find little competition from the Ducks as he is capable of 6 feet 6 inches while Hayward’s Bob Fitchard usually jumps around the six foot height. McGaughey and Angle Captain Sam McGaughey will have his hands full out-running the Seattle duo of Jimmy Angle and Bill Trowbridge. Trowbridge is re garded a great prospect in this event. Although everyone is practically conceding the pole vault to George Varoff, reports from the Husky camp say that Jay Reese, a trans fer from the University of Mis souri, has been clearing 13 feet consistently and should go much higher in the meet. A duel is expected between Ken Miller, one year half-mile veteran, and Bill Palmason, cream of the coast’s 880 men. Experts are rat ing Miller on a par with Palmason this season. Squeak Lloyd, Oregon’s springy legged broad jumper will find stiff going against Jim Panton who has been jumping close to 24 feet in practice meets in the northern country. Washington has a trio of expert timber toppers in Jim McGoldrick, Bert Anshutz and Fred Studfield and little chance is conceded the Ducks in this event althought Wes ton and Lacy are capable of up setting the dope bucket anytime. In the field Oregon's Bill Fos kett.-shot put, Dutch Holland, dis cus, and Elmer Koskello, javelin, should have comparatively easy go ing although Jess Miller, the Hus ky harpoon thrower, is capable of 190 feet with the spear. ago days when Don Moc and Frank Dolp performed for Oregon. It is interesting to note that the last two Seattle affairs ended by 14 to 13 scores. ! Coach-captain Milligan in des I cribing the Seattle course says it is right on Washington’s campus in the hustle and bustle of city life. Trains and autos are constantly whizzing by, and you can watch a nearby draw-bridge functioning for the city’s traffic. Honored Eugene W. Nixon, director of ; athletics at Pomona College, Clare mont, Calif., for 21 years, won the 11137 honor award of the American Physical Education association for outstanding achievement in the field of health and physical educa tion.

Varsity Netmen Leave for East Ducks Open Conference Play Against Cougars Friday Afternoon With hopes of stretching their victory total to six consecutive matches, the Oregon varsity ten nis team departed early this morn ing to Pullman, Washington, where the Ducks will meet the Washing ton State Cougars for their open' ing Northwest conference match. Following the contest with the Cougars Friday, the team will travel to Moscow to meet the Van dals for their second conference engagement. Team members, man aged by Mel Johnson, who will make the trip are captain John Economus, Larry Crane, Charlie Eaton, Bill Zimmerman, and A1 Finke. Coach Paul Washke, who has been attending a national physi cal education convention in New York is expected to meet the team when they arrive in Pullman. In past contests, the W’ebfoots have had1 little trouble with the northern teams. Washington State is reported to be lacking in experi enced men as are their neighbors ! the Vandals. Oregon boasts one of the strongest teams since 1929 when the Webfoot doubles team won the national intercollegiate championship from the University | of Texas. Hayward Relays Set for Saturday 20 High School Squads to Meet in First Annual Track Competition Teams from 20 high schools from Salem to Cottage Grove will line up Saturday at 2:00 o’clock to start the first “Hayward Relays’’ to be held annually on Hayward field.

Three men teams will participate in the field events, and four man teams in the track events. The track events are as follows: 440 . yard relay, sprint medley, distance medley, mile relay, and three mile relay. The field events are: shot put relay, javelin relay, and high jump relay.

Duck Linksmen Preparing for Canadian Meet Dave Hamley Reaches 3rd Position on 6-Man Varsity Squad; Tussle With British Nears With Friday's 36-hole match against an unknown, untried Uni versity of British Columbia golf team rapidly drawing- near, Ore gon's undefeated varsity divot diggers are practicing to iron out weak spots in their games before the “mystery” test. The only challenges for higher positions in team lineup this week were made by Dave Hamley, who played No. -1 in last weekend’s Puget Sound and University of Washington matches. Hamley shot a par 72 at Eugene country club to grab No. 3 spot from Doug Ramsey, who has held that position all season. Hamley beat Ramsey one up. Following his win over Ramsey, Hamley challenged Walt Cline, No. 2, man but lost 6 and 5 when he scored a 78 to Cline's 72. Since the start of the season, Hamley has climbed from No. 5 to No. 3 position on the squad, by virtue of win over Bill Watson and Ram sey. Positions, barring last-minute changes, as follows: Sid Milligan, No. 1; Walt Cline, No. 2; Dave Hamley, No. 3; Doug Ramsey, No. 4; Bill Watson, No. 5, and Bill Watson, No. 6.

Maurice Kelly, first string catcher for the frosh, was put out of the lineup indefinitely when a foul ball struck and broke his foot. Warren is left with only one catcher for the rest of his games because there was only one relief catcher, Marcel Empey. Tom Robertson and Pete Mitch ell pitched for the frosh, John Linde having worked in Tuesday’s game with Junction City. The frosh showed good hitting power and are finally getting their batting eyes after losing so much practice on account of the rain. A slight change may be made in the lineup with Paul Jackson working at third base in place of Jake Fish er and Fisher playing center field.

Varsity Nine Ends Practice For Vandals Bill Sayles Is Named as Mound Choice to Face Idaho in First Contest Here Friday Bill (Chic) Sayles, sophomore pitching ace, has been named by Coach Hobson to start on the mound in Friday's game on Howe field against the louring Univer sity of Idaho Vandals. The Duck mentor is taking no chances in getting his boys off to a good start, and will have the speedball righthander ready to use against Washington State in next week's crucial series. The Webfoots took things fairly easy last nfght, with four of the team’s six-man pitching staff working on the hill, and the whole outfit taking batting practice. Lewis, Hardy Ready Sayles and Bill Marshall pitched to the varsity hitters, and LeRoy Mattingly and Dave Gammon worked in a pactice tilt between the Ducklings and a makeshift lineup of fosh and varsity reserves. Johnny Lewis and Bob Hardy are both in fine shape, and ready to work this weekend against Idaho. Figures on the players for last week's conference games against Oregon State show nine Webfoots hitting- over .375, and the team's average was .396. Batting averages follow: G AB H Pet. 1 Nicholson . 3 2 .667 2 Coleman. 7 4 .571 1 Courtney . 4 2 .500 1 Lewis . 4 2 .500 2 Smith . 9 4 .444 2 Hurney. 7 3 .428 1 Sayles. 5 2 .400 2 Gordon . 8 3 .375 2 Amato . 8 3 .375 2 McLean . 9 2 .222 2 Mullen . 6 1 .142 Coach Hobson has been using about the same lineup in this week's practices that opened both Beaver contests. Only changes may be in the outfield. Tentative Lineup Named Gale Smith is a cinch to hold his post at first base. The Duck sopho more is fielding beautifully, and boasts a nice hitting average for the Oregon State series. Cliff Mc Lean hasn’t hit his stride yet, but is an institution behind the bat. Smooth - fielding Ford Mullen, third base; hard-hitting Jack Gor don, shortstop; and Jack Coleman, second sacker, who has found his batting eye, complete the infield. Andy Hurney, rightfielder; Ralph Amato and Jimmy Nichol son, centcrfielders, and Bill Court ney in left, will patrol the outer garden as usual. John Ycrby is also a possibility to crack the line up against Idaho. Send the Emerald to your friends. Subscription only $3.00 per year.
